In 2019, the initiative "Fighting Food Waste in Hotels," led by WWF with support from the American Hotel and Lodging Association and The Rockefeller Foundation, addresses the significant environmental impact of food production and waste within the hospitality sector. Emphasizing sustainability, the project aims to shift consumption patterns towards more regenerative food systems. It advocates for cultural shifts in hotels to prioritize food waste reduction through prevention, donation, and diversion from landfills. By integrating waste reduction into job roles, training, and operational norms, the initiative not only enhances environmental stewardship but also improves financial savings, staff morale, and community engagement.
